  “Food was delicious and well cooked. My 9 year old said "i love how its fresh cooked and it was the best burger ever" Staff were really lovely and polite, and really accommodated my boys needs around his eating habits.”

  “Me and my wife were visiting after a day in Scarborough.Food took to long and came out lukewarm and bland, staff didn’t know what they were doing at the bar or operate the till. Cleanliness overall isnt the best, the toilets are shocking. I ordered an Amstel and it was very watery, the environment was very appealing rather of gone to weatherspoons then sit in this pub. AVOID!!”

  “First time back in Yorkshire for a long time.. the Derwent arms didn't disappoint. Lively atmosphere, very friendly staff. Food - don't expect gourmet fayre it's "pub grub" but nicely done, and fairly priced. Drinks - value for money. All in all, enjoyable”

  “We stayed in our campervan in the carpark, food was fantastic to say the pub has had new owners for only two weeks. Staff are really friendly and very helpful. Make sure you register you reg number. Only thing for us campers, is the electric hook up has been removed buy the previous tenant, but I was assured this would be rectified in the future! Fantastic pub stopover, highly recommend.”

  “Went to Malton to meet up with friends from Leicester. Called in as the football was on and it was dog friendly. We had our springer with us and he was given a warm welcome in the bar area with a lovely big TV screen with commentary rather than awful music ! Spacious so we weren't crowded in which is a big bonus.😂 Had food which was typical pub grub. We enjoyed our visit.”

  “Great pub stop. On arriving greated by landlord. There are 3 designated parking spaces. Ehu if needed. We didnt use. Good size. Probably get an 8m van in. Food very tasty. Desserts to die for. Good drinks. Very reasonable price. On main road and next to a public carpark, but quiet overnight. Just outside town so a 15min walk into Malton to visit the quaint shops. Lovely area for walks. Definitely reccomend.”

  “I visited the Derwent arms yesterday for lunch with my husband and mother. I had the mixed grill, my husband had the garlic and stilton burger and my mother had the gammon all of which was really good. The pub is dog friendly which is a welcomed amenity. The car park has plenty of space for patrons which is also appreciated. The food is excellent and offers great value for money. The desserts were also excellent. We had ice cream Sundays and I had the cookie dough which was divine and I would actually call in for just this and a drink it was so good. Collectively our bill was about £70 and that was for 3 main courses, 3 desserts and 6 drinks. I shall most definitely be returning to the Derwent in the near future.”

  “Dec 2019 review. We stopped in again with family for Sunday lunch the weekend after Christmas. Once we figured out what everyone wanted we had to go to the bar to order, no table service there. Unfortunately they only had turkey on for the roast dinner, but they were very accommodating with substituting a steak. We had a mixed array of pies and steaks and roast dinners, the overall consensus was that a lot of the food tasted a bit dry and rubbery, most likely microwaved or our of a bag. After dinner some of us decided to have dessert, they were out of vanilla ice cream so we had to go with chocolate for our chocolate cheesecake. The cheesecake was nothing to write home about, it was kind of warm which really surprised us as it is typically served fresh from the refrigerator. Others decided on the sticky toffee pudding and said that is was cold and they were expecting it to be much hotter. All in all I would say this wasn't our best experience at this pub as far as the food is concearned. The staff were very friendly and helpful, but the food was rather slow coming out and not all at the same time. The bathrooms were not in the best shape and I was informed the ladies was completely out of toilet roll. The gents just had paper napkins of some kind. ***old 5 star review from 2017*** We went here for lunch with family and even though they had the main dining area fully reserved, we were seated fairly fast over near the bar, the tables were pretty small and cramped but we managed. I ordered the giant Yorkshire pudding and sausage, my wife had the haddock and chips, my dad had a steak pie, and my mum had a giant Yorkshire pudding with beef. All food was top notch and everyone was thoroughly satisfied. The staff were all very polite and attentive but didn't hover. Great atmosphere, the place was empty when we arrived but buzzing by the time we left. Will be back next time we're in town.”
